Introduction

The OnStor Bobcat range of devices allow the creation of virtual servers. A virtual server appears to clients and servers on the LAN as a complete NAS device with a unique identity, IP address and security authentication.

The power of a virtual server lies in its mobility. It can be transparently relocated among Bobcat NAS Gateways at any time for load balancing, failover, or performance scaling.
